It doesn’t look like you’re actually loading a movie at all there. Is this all the code?
also,
percent = Math.round((loading/total)\*100);
is a simpler way to do the percentage, unless yours is using some strange method you didn’t mention. What is the \*.25 bit for?

put this on the first keyframe:
```auto
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
tBytes = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
lBytes = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
perc = (lBytes/tBytes);
pText = Math.round(perc*100)+"%"
bar._width = (perc*200);
if(lBytes == tBytes) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
else {
this.stop();
}
}
```
where pText is the var of the text box, not instnace name…
and
```auto
bar._width = (perc*200);
```
multiply by the width of your load bar…

it’s probably because you’re attaching sound using AS, there for it’s not loaded at the beggining of the movie…what you need to do, is put in an ‘invisible frame’ or one that never gets seen, say the 3rd frame, drag your music sounds in that keyframe, then make the 4th keyframe start with your stuff…change the if statement on your preloader from:
```auto
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
}
```
to:
```auto
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
_root.gotoAndStop(4);
}
```
Using that method, you skip the third frame, your stuff is preloaded, and your bar will appear correctly…

If i’m using the method u just mention…by dragging sound on the 3rd frame how i’m gonna loop sound…and control sound …
Maybe i have to load sound first and then load the rest…what u think?i 'll try it…?
anyway tq for ur response…
